LEGO Announces New LEGO Replay Pilot Program

If you’re like me and have way too many LEGO bricks, LEGO has launched a new pilot program called LEGO Replay which allows you to donate bricks you don’t want to children’s non-profits in the US. LEGO is working with three different organizations including Give Back Box, Teach For America, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston. Check out the press release below.

ENFIELD, CONNECTICUT, October 8, 2019: Today, The LEGO Group announced the launch of LEGO® Replay, a pilot program that will accept any and all previously used LEGO bricks and donate them to children’s non-profits in the United States. The effort is a collaboration with Give Back Box, Teach For America, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston.

The process is simple: collect any loose LEGO bricks, sets, or elements, place them into a cardboard box, and visit www.lego.com/replay to print out a free UPS shipping label. The package will be sent to the Give Back Box facility, where each brick will be sorted, inspected by hand, and given a rigorous cleaning. This process is possible because LEGO bricks are made from high-quality, durable materials, designed to be used for generations.

“We know people don’t throw away their LEGO bricks,” said Tim Brooks, Vice President, Environmental Responsibility at the LEGO Group. “The vast majority hand them down to their children or grandchildren. But others have asked us for a safe way to dispose or donate their bricks, so with Replay, they have an easy option that’s both sustainable and socially impactful.”

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Rumored Price Increase in 2020

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

In 2020, we’ll be getting a few series of LEGO Collectible Minifigures and it looks like we’ll be paying a little bit more for them. For about five years now, the LEGO Collectible Minifigures have been priced at $3.99 each but it looks like it will jump up a dollar next year. This comes from an email that I got a few weeks back and it looks to be confirmed by another source.

I’m not sure of the reasoning behind the rumored price increase but I’m sure fans will not be too pleased about it if is true, however, there are some cool new things that are rumored for 2020 which I’ll talk about later on which could be a reasoning of why we’ll be paying more for them. Of course, treat this as a rumor but considering two different sources have said it, I would say it may be true.

LEGO Holiday Ideas Book Review

A few days ago, I received a mysterious package from DK and I opened it to find out it was a brand new LEGO book called LEGO Holiday Ideas. It has 80 pages and it features more than 50 build ideas to use for holiday decorations, games, and gifts. What’s even cooler is that the book also provides the parts for an exclusive reindeer build.

Of course, you’ll need your own parts for the other builds in the book but the images for the pages were photographed very well so you can see what parts are needed. Some of my personal favorite builds from the book include The Elf Express which is a monorail for the elves and the Gingerbread Train.

LEGO Holiday Ideas retails for $14.99 but it is currently on sale over on Amazon for $10.59 which is 29% off. Thank you again to DK for sending it over for us to check out.

Using LEGO Control+ App to Control Real Liebherr R 9800

The LEGO Technic Liebherr R 9800 Excavator (42100) was released last week but LEGO has been doing some other cool promotional marketing for the set. Since it is the largest Technic set and is based on one of the largest mining excavators in the world, why not try something a little different. With the assistance of Sariel’s LEGO Workshop, LEGO made a control using the same elements from the Technic Liebherr to control the real machine using the Control+ app. Check out the video below.
